Beth Ditto is best known for her singing and songwriting with Gossip and as a solo artiste, but after watching this video it’s obvious that her true calling is to become a spiritual guide/guru and maybe get a show on OWN where she can just toss off pearls of wisdom like these like it’s nothing: “Self-love is not selfish.” “Your opinion of yourself is what matters the most.” And our new mantra: “Don’t hang out with people who make you feel less than amazing.” More where those came from (literally):

I LITERALLY CANNOT WAIT TILL THIS LOADS THE WHOLE WAY I AM ALREADY IN TEARS OF LOVE AT 26 SECONDS IN
I want to give my ultimate fat-spo goddess Beth Ditto kisses and hugs and be her best friend and GOOD LORD THIS IS THE ACTUAL BEST <3333

If you seek friendships that are just for you to make you feel good about yourself, you could go your whole life without being in a real relationship. Don’t seek relationships that only make you feel good about yourself because, in reality, if you put you self acceptance in someone elses hands… they are bound to not measure up to the standards. The only one who can determine your self worth is you. Seek a relationship for the sake of a good, mutual relationship. For fun for understanding for love for moments… never for SELF acceptance.

I love Beth Ditto! She is such an amazing role model especially when it comes to confidence. It was so amazing when I first saw that she was going to answer questions and give us advice. I almost cried when I saw this!

omg…i LOVE Beth Ditto!!!!!!!!! I knew she was fantastic, but I had no idea she was so warm, generous, intelligent, generous, or just how gorgeous that face is up close…just goes to show you…some gals have it ALL. My day has been made.

Yoo-hoo! August’s theme is GIVE AND TAKE, and we’d like to take into consideration whatever submissions you have to give about that! (Even/especially if they’re as cheesy as we just were.) Send pitches to submission@rookiemag.com. ✴
